Until the Hurley Pro at Trestles, 2014 had been a lean year for Jordy. He'd progressed no further than the quarters and had two ignoble Round Two exits. He's currently sitting at ninth, a long way short of the title threat he thought he'd be this year.

This clip was filmed over the few weeks he spent in Southern California before and after the Trestles comp.

Tides getting lower and lower on the the top of the scone.

sooner or later he'll have to face reality and lose the mop.

Judges will never allow Krusty the Klown to be World Champ.

Californian surfing - I don't get it. Cold, crowded, fat, inconsistent , weak, polluted, grey water, grey ocean....did I leave anything out ?
I suppose you've gotta do what you've gotta do, but why the hype ? It's like talking up English beach breaks.

He goes pretty good for a big bloke. Considering as Blowin said, "fat and weak" waves. I have a general dislike for SAFAS so never really warmed to him but he does rip.. I reckon he got ripped off at Bells too this year.
